A member asked:

My nan is nearly 89 and had chicken pox when she was a child. my 4 yo has chicken pox now. is it safe for him to visit her? thank you

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Probably not. : Even though the child's grandmother may have had chicken pox as a child, with advancing age the antibodies do decrease and chicken pox or shingles may develop. It would be prudent not to let your child visit her at this juncture.
